The Auyu tribe in Boven Digoel in West Papua is now living in the middle of a huge environmental catastrophe. This is due to the Tanah Merah project, a plan that seeks to generate billions of dollars by logging untouched rainforests that are home to indigenous tribes and a treasure trove of biodiversity.

Through the Tanah Merah project, initiators will bulldose rainforests to be able to replace it with a palm oil plantation. If fully-developed, it will be the single biggest palm oil plantation in Indonesia, which will occupy an area four times bigger than the capital Jakarta.
